just for guess,
Is there of statement "workgroup=xxx" in the smb.conf?
is the workgroup declaration is the same in both FC2 & MSCLIENT?
is the firewall setting in FC2 suitable for incoming to SAMBA server?
can you use smbclient to connect the SAMBA in FC2.
should the command in MSCLIENT be "net use f: \\presario\jmccarty"
OR "net use f: \\SMB_IP_ADDRESS\jmccarty"
Perhaps,
you may find a bootdisk in http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/
you may use the bookdisk to connect the samba in other workstation for
testing.
OR
you may goto news group "gmane.network.samba.general" for help.
